38market, the other example presented in the casestudy, the Markala Sugar Project, produces sugarfor the domestic market to secure food security inMali and to reduce dependency on sugar importsand therefore the world market. The reason forthis difference in philosophy is the different formof investment. Malibya is a classic FDI in land,while Markala Sugar Project is the first publicprivatepartnership project in Mali and the firstpublic private partnership (PPP) developmentproject in the agro-industrial sector submitted forfinancing to the African Development Bank.Accordingly, Malibya is exclusively heading forquality and profits using sophisticated technologiesrequiring little and mainly skilled (thereforeforeign) manpower, while the Markala SugarProject will, according to the Bank’s plans, amongother things be accompanied by a poverty reductionprogram, a resettlement action plan andmeasures to mitigate the negative environmentalimpact.Table 6: Demand for FDI in land in MaliInvestor Investor Country Surface (ha) CropsMalibya Agriculture Libya 100,000 rice and vegetablesUEMOA UEMOA 11,288 rice and vegetablesAgro Industries Developement France 2,605 rice and vegetablesMali Biocarburant Netherlands 2,112 jatropha curcasManuel Estepa Gonzalez Ivory Coast 5,000 jatropha curcasSUDAN Ivory Coast 5,000 jatropha curcasASSIL Ivory Coast 5,000 jatropha curcasCAMEX UK 20,000 rice and vegetablesBurkina Faso Burkina Faso 2,500 rice and vegetablesFORAS Saudi Arabia 5,000 rice and vegetablesCO-ENTREPRISE West African Countries 1,000 rice and vegetablesTotal 159,505Source: own researchMost projects are still not yet implemented. Sofar, it is therefore too early to do an evaluation.Nevertheless, some observations show a violationof existing rights: Both the Malibya Agricultureproject as well as the Markala Sugar Projectstarted with their implementation work beforecarrying out the environmental and social impactassessments and compensation for resettledfarmers does not meet the legal obligations.Despite all positive impacts, it is obvious that notall of the affected population will benefit fromthese projects. Both projects can also result inmajor environmental degradation.
